I’m Karen Catlin. After a successful career in the tech industry, I’m now “paying it forward” by helping to create more diverse and inclusive workplaces.

My StoryIn my first career, I spent 25 years building software products, starting off as a software engineer and, over time, moving into leadership roles. I was a vice president of engineering at two public software companies, and served as the CEO of an early-stage startup. During those years, I saw a decline in the number of women working in tech.
